Pastel shades perform several functions at once. First, they give a feeling of coolness, especially in a duet with a free flying silhouette. Secondly, such tones are perceived as more elegant, air, discreet. They can be said, harder than their bright fellow: there are more color nuances, they are multifaceted.
